I found I do something similar. I level everything using the channel volumes in FL (much easier than Fruity Balance & more convenient), so nothing is clipping and all elements are at the level I want them at (using ears not a meter.) Then I pull all the faders down so the kick is -12db ish. Then I bring up the volume (up to a decent LUFs value) after I've done my master EQ, saturation, then Multiband Comp/Stereo Separation. I used to use a soft clipper, but I don't know where in the chain to put it. Everywhere I put it, it just sounds off. Guess I don't need it!

The difference is the fader is post all effects But gain staging is the first thing you do so it is pre all effectsand the there is more headroom for effects .... Like if you put a saturator at like +48db but pull the fader down by -48 db then it is still gona clip it will be just lower in volume But if you put utility -48 db before saturator it wont clip...

gain stage as I make my beats, Create all beats in mono until you forget that you're in mono. get rid of the resonance peaks at your own discretion. Literally my process and it's proved effective every single time. wait til you separate the master channel to mono. the results will 100% blow you away after you forget that you're in mono.

Rayyan Khan Two very important reasons to mix in mono: 1. Mono is the worst scenario your track will be played in. If your song sounds good in mono, it will sound good on pretty much any audio play back device someone uses. 2. There’s actually a lot of playback devices that are still mono and even some clubs. Not to mention majority of the time someone is listening to music it will not be in a perfect stereo environment (listening to music on headphones or sitting in your studio with your speakers aligned) *bonus one* When you start getting into posting stuff on streaming services and measuring your song’s LUFS, having all clean signals and a very good mix will make it so you’re able to make your tracks loud like the professionals.

Could you elaborate on how to actually mix in mono? Is it as simple as putting a mono gain plugin on the master, set to 0db and bypassing on and off to compare? I'm using Serato Studio to make the beats, and mixing/mastering them in Mixcraft. Thanks

As far as I know the reason everything sounds better when it's about -18Db gain is 'cause there are some plugins emulating workflow of analog mixing gear. For all of them this lvl is safe. If you put it higher even though you're not clipping you'll get some more unnecessary distorstion and noise

I just watched helpmedevon and he stated this type of effect plug in is the same as it attacks volume prior to the mix effects. He goes through both. I'd assume this is easier to adjust the track as a whole so you don't have to worry about midi vs bounce or velocity changes or multiple separate sections

First...Thank you soo much for this tutorial! Really it helps me a lot. One question, after I mixed everything.. should/can I put Utility on the Master and an bring it up to -6DB to make it louder ? And second question is.. if I put for example Saturator on the drums should I bring the Level back to -18DB with the Utility ? (bc usually it makes the drums louder again) Anyway... thank you very much for your tutorial!

Why didn't you just adjust levels of each channel by moving down faders on the mixer? Or there is no mixer in Ableton?
@EdTalenti
@EdTalenti 5 жыл бұрын
Adjusting the levels on the mixer lowers the output volume of that particular instrument, not the input. In other words, if the instrument was clipping before it even hit the mixer (like the 808 in this video for example), you will just make it quieter by lowering the fader, but you won't fix the distortion that comes from clipping. It will still be distorted, just quieter. Hope that made sense!

So after gain-staging if I need a certain sound or element louder would you then use the faders to adjust volume for certain elements? For example if I set my kick to peak between -18db & -12db but I need it louder would turning it up on the faders actually mess up what I just gain staged? That’s the only thing confusing me.

It is wrong. Let’s do an example: you have a sound or sample that reaches 0db, so you turn down the fader (instead of using a utility). So now the level of the sound is, let’s say, -12db AFTER the fader, I mean that if you put any effect plugin on the channel the level will still be zero before it reaches the fader so, for example, if you add an exciter to ADD some harmonics you will work on a sound that is already at zero so there’s no headroom to add harmonics and those one added will be distorted and squashed. Let’s say you could do gain staging using then fader when you are sure that you will not add anything to your sound, but it’s better to use volute utilities for a perfect workflow and to be free to treat any sound the way you like.

There is ONE gainstaging video. It’s within the clip to zero series by baphometrix. Why did I say that? Because… he delves into the requirement of the analog emulation plugins -18 lufs design. If you haven’t sat in on his series yet it’s AMAZING. 20 videos or so ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ that’s six(!) star quality hehe Now, distortions sound beautiful & silky instead of angry. Top stuff check him out

Do you find this process is easier after freezing and flattening your MIDI into audio? I was trying this on a MIDI drum track with decent samples and found I had to reduce the gain quite a bit to get the audio in the -12 to -18 range in SPAN. But after freezing and flattening to audio it was already close to that range with no gain adjustment

Leveling the track lowers the track's output. If the sound was clipping at any point in your fx chain on that track, lowering the volume won't eliminate the distortion, it'll just make it quieter.

EdTalenti after you gain stage do you add compression and distortion then level your beat then use a limter

Gainstaging. The often overlooked simple king of mixing. I also use Voxengo Span, but i put it on the master and let the vst window open on the second screen and solo/unsolo tracks to see the level. i find it annoying to load it on every track

why did you initially level all your drums together rather than doing them individually? did you mix them relative to each other already?

I do some VERY slight leveling inside my drum rack but I mostly just level them with velocities to be honest. Not the best way but I'm just used to it lol
